VSVivian Lavor SoaresCPCarolina PereiraACAna Carla Carvalho

Key Result

Cognitive impairment was present in 53.5% of hospitalized heart failure patients and was significantly associated with possible or probable depression (OR 5.076).

Study Design

Type

Observational (n=71)

Multicenter

No

Structured PICO

What is the prevalence of cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression, and their association with 30-day readmission in patients hospitalized with heart failure?

P
Population
Patients hospitalized with heart failure
O
Outcome
Presence of cognitive impairment, association with depression and/or anxiety, and correlation with 30-day readmission

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the prevalence and association of cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression with 30-day readmission in hospitalized heart failure patients.

Main Result

Effect estimate: OR 5.076 (95% CI 1.320-19.524)

Absolute Event Rate: 34.2% vs 18.2%

p-value: p=0.018

Limitations

  • Conducted in a single private hospital with participants having higher educational and socioeconomic characteristics
  • MMSE is a screening tool and not considered an effective diagnostic evaluation for cognitive impairment
  • Short follow-up time of 30 days after hospital discharge

Abstract

Background Cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression are present in patients with heart failure (HF), but their mutual correlation in hospitalized patients is not well established. Objectives The aims of this study were to identify the presence of cognitive impairment and the most affected domain, to investigate possible associations of cognitive impairment with depression and/or anxiety, and to observe whether they correlated with occurrence of readmission within 30 days following hospital discharge. Methods This is a prospective observational study including ...

Soares et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Heart Failure (n=71). Cognitive impairment vs. No cognitive impairment was evaluated on Possible/probable depression (OR 5.076, 95% CI 1.320-19.524, p=0.018).
